Sidney Resources Revolutionizes the Mining Industry with Successful Laser Testing at the Colorado School of Mines

COEUR D' ALENE, ID / ACCESSWIRE / July 5th, 2023 / Sidney Resources Corporation (OTC PINK:SDRC), a leading innovator in mining technologies, proudly announces a major breakthrough in the mining industry through the successful completion of the first round of laser testing at the prestigious Colorado School of Mines. This groundbreaking development in laser spalling technology is set to transform the mining and construction sectors, attracting the attention of investors, governments, and mining equipment manufacturers worldwide.

Laser spalling, the innovative method of utilizing lasers to chip away rock, offers unprecedented efficiency and precision. Sidney Resources' advanced laser technology enables faster excavation and construction processes while minimizing waste and reducing the risk of damage to surrounding structures. By eliminating the need for explosives, this technology enhances worker safety and reduces the environmental impact. Moreover, laser spalling proves to be a cost-effective solution, optimizing resource utilization and delivering long-term savings. This marks the beginning of a new era in mining and construction, emphasizing speed, precision, safety, and sustainability.

In addition to revolutionizing the mining industry, the highly advanced laser unit developed by Sidney Resources has enormous potential for numerous industrial applications. Utilizing laser technology's precise cutting capabilities can improve construction project efficiency and reduce waste. Moreover, industries such as infrastructure development, tunneling, quarrying, search and rescue in concrete structure failure, and mine rescue could reap the benefits of this innovative solution. The laser unit's ability to quickly and precisely cut through a variety of materials can assist in rescue operations, ensuring the safety and effectiveness of emergency response teams in dire situations.

Gabe Achenbach and David Irish of Sidney Resources collaborated with Nathan Fennell of the Colorado School of Mines to conduct preliminary rock spallation trial testing. Utilizing Sidney's patented laser technology and granite samples from Sidney's Lucky Ben Mine, the team accomplished remarkable results in cutting, melting, and spalling.

"The excitement was contagious between our team and CSM staff as we observed such quick results at lower powers. We initially observed melting at lower powers, and as we increased the laser power, we observed spalling of the ore samples from the Lucky Ben mine. When spalling occurred, we could see the crumb-like material accumulating, and when adjusting the laser's power levels, we were able to quickly remove material, even splitting off one chunk approximately 2 inches in size. In several places, we also noticed large thermal cracks over 4 inches long. Once we initiated the motion for the 1-centimeter beam in a 6-centimeter circle, the laser cut was similar to a diamond drill, with the core remaining in the center of the cut. After all these years of research and development, I could not be more excited with the results and look forward to making minor adjustments to the unit and completing additional testing at CSM."
